    Default Changing Light Bulbs

    Question:
    How many Forum members does it take to change a Lightbulb?

    Answer:
    1 to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed
    14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been changed differently
    7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs
    1 to move it to the Lighting section
    2 to argue then move it to the Electricals section
    7 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs
    5 to flame the spell checkers
    3 to correct spelling/grammar flames
    6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ... another 6 to condemn those 6 as stupid
    2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "lamp"
    15 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that "light bulb" is perfectly correct
    19 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb forum
    11 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum
    36 to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior, where to buy the best light bulbs, what brand of light bulbs work best for this technique and what brands are faulty
    7 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs
    4 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's
    3 to post about links they found from the URL's that are relevant to this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group
    13 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too"
    5 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy
    4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"
    13 to say "do a search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs"
    1 to hijack the thread and ask how to change the horn
    1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again

    Thanks for sharing, John!

    Light bulbs are only a crutch for the weak who haven't learned the secrets of seeing in the dark.

    Just some you forgot:
    1 to claim that fire originated in Africa so CLEARLY the Lightbulb is in fact part of the 'Black Legacy' and Eddison was merely a puppet in the great white conspiracy.
    2 to claim that the movie 'Light Bulb' was about them, and as proof give examples of how they taught Navy Seals to replace lightbulbs.
    1 to theaten everyone with sending his 'Boys' when it appears that his Lightbulb is never on.
    And just for good measure: A simple few who don't really know what a Lightbulb is but they want in on the scam...

    There was a black guy on the filament development team at the Edison Labs in West Orange.

    Wrong. It was a white guy who got on the wrong side of Chuck Norris.

    The original draft of The Lord of the Rings featured Chuck Norris instead of Frodo Baggins. It was only 5 pages long, as Chuck roundhouse-kicked Sauron’s !!! halfway through the first chapter.

    The plural of "URL" is "URLs."
    "URL's" is singular possessive.
